The accurately cut, square shape of our placemat Varna sets it apart from our other, mostly round or rectangular models. The material used is hand-tied seagrass fibres in a radial pattern. The simple black colour of the seagrass blends harmoniously into almost any living environment and creates a special ambience. It not only gives Varna a unique texture, but also a natural elegance that enhances any dining table.
The next time you organise a dinner for family or friends, Varna will effortlessly become the highlight of the table setting thanks to these properties. Varna is very easy to care for: as the fibres are not tightly woven into each other but are only bound in three places, the spaces in between can be easily reached for cleaning. With its light weight and thin structure, the placemat can be stacked to save space when required.
Varna is also available in natural colour.

Main material: Seagrass
Our placemats are made from plant fibers. They therefore wonderfully smell and feel like nature.
What is usually referred to as “seagrass” by basket makers is actually not an (under) water plant, but a small, palm-like plant that is widespread on sandy beaches in the tropics of Asia. The leaves of the plants, which are often cultivated by humans, are separated, cut into strips, dried and then processed by hand.

Production site:
This placemat is handmade in Java, Indonesia.
When selecting our local producers, we value fair pay and good working conditions. In the factories from which we purchase our goods, we only work with adult and experienced artisans. No harmful chemicals are used in the manufacturing process. Since all work steps are done by hand, the production process hardly generates any greenhouse gas emissions. We ensure all of this through regular on-site visits and permanent personal contact with the companies.
